What is the main country where dying pubs is such a big subject?
For f**ks sake I am not from UK yet it is easy to understand what it is all about from context and language. And I wasn't even aware of that tax change.
Pure US arrogance.

How should I know? That's the point. It might as easily be Ireland for all I know. Or maybe pubs are dying in Boston or something?

I'm happy you're so smart. Not all of us are so lucky, I guess.

Who said anything about the US? You know there are people from a lot of other countries who speak English too? If your concern is arrogance, it seems like it's your own that perhaps needs to be dialed back a little.
Suggesting that communication can be clearer isn't a form of arrogance. To the contrary, it's something that comes out of empathy, identifying how communication could help more readers/listeners.

I just read your account name.
If they're not American, then following their own logic they probably shouldn't be heavily implying that they are. It's misleading. They should give context in each and every comment so that we know.
Is it too much to ask for clear communication?
